La Joconde sourit aux primitifs
The opening of the Louvre's Pavillon des Sessions for the "primitive arts" has revived a century-old debate : can these sculptures, until now the exclusive field of ethnology, be considered works of art or are they simply examples of craftsmanship ? From the 1989 publication of Jacques Kerchache's "So That the World's Masterpieces May Be Born Free and Equal" to the inauguration of the exhibition by President Chirac, this film covers the history of this revolutionary and controversial project.
